- CaremeySharpens very goodSimple, effective, and does the job. It sharpens pencils quickly and evenly without breaking the tips. The blade is sharp, and the container holds a good amount of shavings, so you don’t have to empty it constantly. Great for school, office, or art use. No complaints solid buy.
- Amazon CustomerYeah I’ll buy againDoes it’s supposed to do. No issues at all. Works fine after my kids found every pencil they could to sharpen. Works fast
- Pat JonesElectric Pencil SharpenerGives pencils a sharp point with this electric pencil sharpener.
- GaryWAll my pencils are sharp nowFriendly price and it works great on both 2H and colored pencils. The points come out clean and sharp in about 2 sec. One little thing - hold tight to the pencil or it will pull it from your hand.
- CaseySurvived middle schoolersIf I could rate this 10 stars it still wouldn’t be enough!
I’m a middle school teacher, and their mission in life is to destroy pencil sharpeners. Twice now I’ve emptied the shavings and there have been metal scraps from where the kids put the back end of the pencil in there.
The sharpener did not yield!
It did not break!
Middle schoolers have met their match - FranciscoGreat productRecommended. I purchased this last year and still working like the first day.
- Cary L. BrownTired of breaking pencil tips when trying to sharpen them? This will fix that problem!Pencils. We who grew up in the pre-computer era likely when through hundreds of them throughout our academic careers, and they're still in popular use, though not AS common, certainly.
When I was a kid, buying school supplies meant getting a box of #2 pencils, and every classroom had a mechanical pencil sharpener screwed to the wall somewhere. (Of course, this was before, and just shortly after Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education, and the resultant drastic decrease in scholastic performance, nationwide, which it brought along with it.)
Pencil sharpening was a daily... often multi-times a day... experience. And if the sharpener in your classroom wasn't in the best shape, it could be nearly impossible to get a proper, sharp point.
And that was with the pretty-high-quality ones most schools bought at the time. They had "grinders" which were, if properly aligned, pretty good at sharpening without consuming too much of the pencile. Home sharpening was usually with a little plastic "box" with a razor blade inside at an angle, which you'd have to CAREFULLY twist the pencil inside of to shave it to a point... and it almost always broke, in my experience.
Well, I still use pencils at times. But the only at-home sharpening capability I had, prior to buying this, was either with one of those delicate little "razor in a box" sharpeners, or with a pocketknife.
So, after the last time I struggled, I decided to see what was available. And I found this unit.
I love it. It's never, yet, broken a tip, it shaves off just enough to give me the point without consuming too much of the pencil (wasting it), and it can be operated with just one hand... a huge benefit. This is a drastic improvement on even the best-quality "in classroom" sharpener of my past experience, and renders my little "razor in a box" sharpener totally pointless.
The only drawback is that it takes up a bit of countertop or desktop space. You can't just stick it into the drawer, as I have always done with my "razor in a box" sharpener. It needs to be plugged in, as well... to me, that's what I wanted, but that means you have to mount it near an available power outlet or power strip. There are battery-operated ones which, depending on how you want to use it, may be better suited for you.
But the fact that this sharpens with almost no effort, and gives me the most consistent, and almost delicately sharp points I've ever personally seen, makes this a full five-star rating from me! - Rick GironeGreat Pencil Sharpener!!Sharpens my pencils in a blink!!!
